It is also a large book, almost 800 pages in two volumes with two hundred
pages of notes in small print.

The good news is that there is condensed version that appeared in
installments on a blog run by a young man in Canada.

This is it!

Happy reading! And feel free to read the whole things, complete with notes,
when time permits...
